Almost a hundred years have passed since Johannes Itten developed the Bauhaus’s pioneering preliminary course—the model and inspiration for what later came to be called the Foundation Course in Art and Design. This book comes from a desire to understand the Foundation courses as they exist today.

72 short assignments from around the world offer a reflection of current concerns, experiments, and ideas from artists, designers, educators and historians—the methods, skills, approaches, and key insights that working artists and teachers consider crucial to teaching in the twenty-first century.

This book brings together exercises related to a two-part conference called “A History Uncovered; A Future Imagined: The Foundation Course in Art and Design,” a collaboration between ‘Art School Educated,’ Tate Research and Paris College of Art held in London and Paris in June 2013.

Intended as a practical source book for teachers, students, and anyone curious to try.
